As another illustration Of the life that
dwells in nature. let Us briefly consider
earthquakes. The peculiar terror Of an
earthquake lies zainly IL the sudden
ness Of its eppEoach. Vsle mic erup-
tons are usually preceded by vast
Eumblipgs, or Jets OF steam, or other
apmistakabIe tokens. Hurricanes and
cyclones In like naGreF have heralds
that announce their coming. But With
an earthquake there are M premonitory
symptoms. TIE great earthquake
which took place q. Lisbon In the year
ITS found the PEOPLE engaged in their
ordinary occupations Ali the shocks
we're over in shout i've mimi es. The
irst shock lasted about six seconds. 10
that brief space of time most of the
houses had been ,hroEn doga aud
thousands Of mep, women, and chi dren
crushed beneath the ruins. At times
the ocean lends fresh terFoFs to the
scene. Thus At Lisbon wave Of water
over fifty feet high rushed in among the
houses, and covered what still remained.
In the island of jamaica on different
occasion two thousand five huHdred
houses we're buried ia three minutes
under thirty feet ct water. Recent del
icate scientific experiments hrve dis
covered the fact that the susfaee of the
land Is never absolutely at rest for more
than thirty hours as a time. Thus those
great earthquakes that make epochs in
history are merely extreme cases of
forces that seldom sleep.

Chinese Bs.rbarity.

The Pekin courts lately sentenced a
young man to the lingering death Of .
thousand slices who had murdered his
brother by blood. but his cousin by
adoption, for unnatural cruelty. The
brother had usurped his place in the
house OF his adopted mother, and finally,
when the victim was driven out, he sold
his wife and child and gave to his
adopted mother $26 out of the 500 which
he realized from this sale. To Chinese
eyes this was praiseworthy transac-
ton. The wicked brother seized upon
this money given to the old mother, and
when the other returned after few
days and learned Of this crowning in-
jury he promptly killed his brother and
his brotner's wife and child. Thecourt.
in passing sentence, was chiefly per-
picked as to whether he murdered his
brother or his cousin. The judge
showed no leniency toward him, and
the moral to be drawn from the case is
that the way Of the poor in China is
hard. IF he had had money he could
have secured relief; without it, he was
driven to take justice into his own hands.
which resulted in his shameful DEATH
